I figured a way around the old editor problem. I just copied my posts before I submitted them, and then if i saw they needed editing I just pasted the copy in the blank space that was supposed to be the post.
So far here, I just copy the post, delete the bad post entirely and paste the copy in a new post and edit it before submission. It’s a pain but it works.
Yes. It really works best if you do it right away, when you spot something wrong in the post just after posting it. But even if it is later, the post is still affiliated with the other post you were responding to.
I was just in there minutes ago replying to posts when the lights suddenly went out as I was sending my second reply. I tried to get back in to read the next comment where someone had quoted me and it said the site was no longer working and I was then sent directly to Community. Apparently, even “read only” is not an option.
